The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies offers a comprehensive fan balancing service to ensure the optimal, efficient performance of industrial fans used in ventilation, material handling, warehouses, power plants, air conditioning, and heating systems.
The Importance of Fan Balancing
Maintaining optimal fan balance helps enhance performance, improve efficiency, reduce vibration, comply with regulatory requirements, promote safety, and avoid potentially catastrophic failures.
For Industrial Operations
As is the case with nearly all industrial equipment, fans can drift out of alignment after prolonged periods of operation, similar to tools that eventually require calibration. Unbalanced fans require more energy to operate, generate vibration, cause premature wear of critical components, and can ultimately lead to damage that must be repaired. Large fans that move significant amounts of air or gases are particularly prone to imbalance, potentially leading to ventilation system failure and even harmful conditions for workers.
For Regular Maintenance
Some industries require fans to be balanced at predetermined intervals, though all industrial fans should be maintained with regularly scheduled fan balancing service appointments. Regularly scheduled fan balancing can prevent the need for significant repairs, increase the overall lifespan of the fan, and promote safety for personnel.
Our Fan Balancing Services
The fan balancing experts at Applied Technical Services apply years of experience to perform quick, efficient service to minimize downtime and service interruptions while keeping costs competitive. We offer fan balancing services both in our state-of-the-art vibration testing laboratory and on-site at your facility for fans that cannot easily be transported.
Our Process
The fan balancing process begins with an initial inspection to identify any flaws, damage, vibration, noise, bearing wear, or imbalance, which is then followed by a dynamic balancing to determine the location and degree of imbalance. Adjustments are made to fan blades to balance the rotor, potentially involving the addition of counterweights or the removal of fan blade material. The fan is then tested again to ensure proper balance and efficient operation.
Our Documentation
Our fan balancing service technicians thoroughly document every step of this process and then supply the client with before and after measurements, adjustments and repairs made, test results, and any additional data.
